In a few words:
Raina Price needed to escape a dangerous stalker, she change her name and disappeared. But eventually the past finally caught up with her. US marshal Vincent Corelli’s job is hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. He vows to protect Raina at all cost and working together to solve the mystery of her past but will Raina live long enough .....
My thoughts:
Although part of a series this novel stands well on its own.
The plot is engaging enough but not as suspenseful as in the previous novels penned by Miss Eason. Nevertheless as the story unfolds we have nail-biting scenes to capture our interest and hold us captive till the conclusion. I knew Raina from the previous stories so it was not a surprise she wanted to stay low key. But when a young teenager was interviewed on TV it started a chain of dangerous and deadly events that propelled the story forward. The pacing stayed smooth sailing from then on. The story is also richly layered with just the right amount of romance: Raina and Vincent have great chemistry. It is fun to follow how they interact with each other. Although not overly done, faith in God is the catalyst that gave Raina and Vincent the opportunity to get closer to each other.
“Countdown” gives us a bit of everything: drama, excitement, romance and some suspense along with a god cast of characters. Well-done and well-said.
I received this ARC from Revel via Netgalley for my thoughts
